color it is a beautiful shade of Souvenir de 
Claudius Pernet yellow, shading to deep gold to¬ 
ward center. It matures about November 10 to 
15. The plant is a tall, vigorous grower, and 
for this reason crown-buds should be reserved 
about August 25, to avoid tall stems.

yellow. Very stiff, upright stem. Grows 4 feet 
high from June planting. We recommend this 
variety. Aug. 25; Oct. 15.
